When the show first started, it was tailored to Andy Williams's pop music stylings, with "adult contemporary" style musicians. But in 1969 it was restaged, bringing in rock and roll acts and psychedelic staging. The audience sat on risers which moved around the stage, following Williams about as he moved.

Starting in 1971, Williams opted instead to produce seasonal specials in lieu of a weekly series.
